Maximizing Asset Lifespan: A Guide to Using Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors for Long-Term Protection

Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors, or VCIs, are chemical compounds that are used to protect metals from corrosion. They work by releasing vapors that form a protective layer on the metal surface, preventing the corrosive environment from reaching the metal and causing damage.

VCIs are commonly used in industrial and military applications, where metal parts and equipment must be stored for extended periods of time in harsh environments. They are also used in packaging materials, such as plastic bags, to protect metal components during transport and storage.

There are two main types of VCIs: contact and vapor-phase. Contact inhibitors are applied directly to the metal surface, while vapor-phase inhibitors are released into the air and form a protective layer on metal surfaces in the surrounding area.

Contact inhibitors are typically used for short-term protection, such as during shipping or storage for a few months. Vapor-phase inhibitors, on the other hand, are used for long-term protection, as they can protect metals for several years.

VCIs are effective at protecting a wide range of metals, including steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and zinc. They are also non-toxic and do not leave any residue on the metal surface, making them ideal for use in sensitive applications such as the electronics industry.

However, there are some limitations to the use of VCIs. They may not be effective in extremely humid environments or in areas where there is a high concentration of corrosive gases. Additionally, the effectiveness of VCIs may be reduced if they are exposed to heat or UV radiation.

In conclusion, VCIs are a useful tool for protecting metals from corrosion in a variety of applications. They offer a non-toxic, non-invasive method of protection that can be used for both short-term and long-term storage. However, their effectiveness may be limited in certain environments, and proper care should be taken to ensure that they are stored and used correctly.

Global Calcium Carbonate Market (GCC and PCC) for Paper, Plastic, Building & Construction Materials - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast To 2020 By Grand View Research, Inc

Global calcium carbonate market is expected to witness substantial growth owing to application growth in papers, polymers and concrete industries. Increased government expenditure on infrastructure improvement in BRICS and Middle East countries is expected to promote the use of polymers and concretes, thus, fueling calcium carbonate demand. Calcium carbonate also finds use in dietary supplements, flue gas desulfurization, toothpaste production and food preservatives. Gaining importance of industrial fillers in petrochemicals and rubber production is expected to augment demand for GCC (ground calcium carbonate) and PCC (precipitated calcium carbonate). Increasing awareness regarding personal hygiene in emerging markets of China, India, Brazil and Middle East countries is expected to augment demand for tissues and packaging paper, which is expected to fuel calcium carbonate market over next six years. Asia Pacific is expected to be one of the largest markets on account of industria...
